During the last two years, Level 50 characters have walked the path of the Incarnate, earning vast new levels of power while repelling a full-scale Praetorian invasion and then taking the fight to Praetoria.Įarly in the development of the Magisterium incarnate trial, we (the design team) all sat together in a meeting room to design a raid that gave players the sense that their characters were immensely powerful and that also provided a satisfying conclusion to the Praetorian war. In City of Heroes Going Rogue, players discovered that Tyrant, Praetoria's ruler, planned to invade Primal Earth and take it as a new home for his people.
This incarnate trial, the largest, most challenging raid we've designed, is the culmination of over two years of storylines. With Issue 23, the City of Heroes design team introduces the Magisterium incarnate trial, the final fight against Tyrant at the base of his iconic citadel, Tyrant's Tower.
